Another vote for the GS608, just bought it, no problems, blisteringly fast, compared to 100Mbs .... dirt cheap with the rebates

Suse User, Sorry, don't get to this forum all that often. My Unraid config has been working well for the last month or so. I use WOL all the time. I see no point in giving money to my utility by running 24x7 ... There is no BIOS setting on this MOBO for WOL. It is configured in the default setting, but must be "activated" by an OS level driver. I added the above string to the end of my GO script and that "resets" the WOL at the NIC on each boot and seems to work just fine. I use Fusion WOL in XP to wake up the box as needed. The half a minute or so it takes to boot is not an issue, then I just power down when I am done via the web interface. I have been planning to try the telnet script some folks here use, but never got around to it. On my Mac I use Dirk Lembens WakeOnLan which also works flawlessly. There are lots of differnet Apps for WOL and it is eminently scriptable if you like the command line. Good luck and enjoy

Figured it out myself, it wasn't a bios setting afterall, but an issue with the driver not putting the onboard nic into wol mode. After issuing a ethtool -s eth0 wol g command, my machine wakes up real nice after power down. This coupled with the ability to shut it down remotely (from a batch script if necessasry) means the wife is happy that this thing is not running 24/7.... . I have included the above command into a script on the boot flash device so eth0 is put in wol mode on each boot. Hopefully this comment might help someone else. Dave

Hi Folks, Does anyone know where in a ASUS P5LD2 BIOS is the setting to enable wake on lan for the embedded ethernet controller? Thanks in advance. Dave
